...former Ambassador to Russia Llewellyn E. Thompson, 58, stricken with a kidney-stone attack while golfing on the Air Force Academy course near Colorado Springs; and former President Herbert Hoover, 88, still recuperating in a Manhattan hospital after the removal two weeks ago of a tumor in his upper colon that doctors announced last week was cancerous, but of a type that seldom recurs or spreads...

Tried on a small number of British patients, it swiftly cleared up stubborn infections of the urinary tract, including some caused by the common colon bacteria, Escherichia coli. Test tube promise was not fulfilled in intestinal infections caused by one of the commonest forms of Salmonella; after a brief clearing, the microbes reappeared. More trials in many patients will be needed to show whether Penbritin can be useful against the several forms of Salmonella and Shigella that cause much dysentery and enteric fever, and, most importantly, against...
